Tim Buskey, Executive Director of
Vermont Farm Bureau (right) hosted "Cooking with Maple" on Vermont Public
Television recently as a fund raiser for the VPT and promotion event for the Vermont maple
industry. Eight Vermont cooks demonstrated their recipes while VPT raised more than
$8,000 in pledges. Westfield sugarmaker Steve Wheeler is shown here talking
about the uses of his maple sugar & pepper product before going into his recipe. Sugarmaker
volunteers did the cooking and provided the recipes for a new VPT maple recipe book that
was given to those who pledged. (Larry Myott Photo)
